Slow week, but here's what I got!!
Goddess Boot Camp by Tera Lynn Childs (Hardback)
Synopsis:
Phoebe, who recently discovered she’s a descendant of Nike (the goddess, not the shoe), is finding that supernatural powers come with a crazy learning curve. Her stepfather, headmaster of the Academy for descendants of the Greek gods, has enrolled her at Dynamotheos Development Camp—aka Goddess Boot Camp—with a bunch of ten-year-olds for the summer.
Embarrassing as that is, hopefully it’ll help her gain control over her powers in time to pass the test of the gods, continue training hard enough to qualify for the Pythian Games, and enjoy her godly boyfriend, Griffin, all while avoiding the ultimate mistake of accidentally misusing powers.
It’s another fast-paced myth-inspired heroine’s quest that’s sure to bring out the goddess in anyone.
Cirque Du Freak Vol. 1 by Darren Shan/Takahiro Arai
Ok... So it's a manga... but It was also a book!
Synopsis:
The world of internationally acclaimed author Darren Shan's Cirque Du Freak brought to life as you've never seen it before!
Darren Shan was an average kid until destiny brought him to the Cirque du Freak. Now Darren's been immersed into a shadowy world inhabited by vampires, werewolves, and strange creatures the likes of which he's never imagined, and his life will be changed forever!
So that's pretty much it! I also recieved another ARC of Eyes Like Stars-- For a chance to win it go here: Win Eyes Like Stars!

ReplyDeleteGreat books! I remembered your posts about Darren Shan when I was at a sale in a bookstore the other day. Some of the books there were eligible for a bag sale and I found two books by Darren Shan. Naturally it had to be book 2 and 3 in a series and no.1 was nowhere to be found. Still I had to buy them(and I tracked down book no. 1 at the library). It wasn't books from the Cirque Du Freak series but from his YA series, Demonata. Have you read the Demonata series?
